DPI 611 | Handheld pressure calibrator

The DPI 611 is the fourth generation in the DPI 600 family, which was first introduced in 1984. The DPI 600 family revolutionized test and calibration by providing all the tools for pressure generation and signal measurement in self-contained, portable packages. The DPI 600 soon became the industry workhorse and today it is simply known as the “Druck.” Building on the technical legacy of more than four decades of experience in pressure measurement and calibration, the DPI 611 provides all the convenience and reliability of a true “Druck,” yet offers twice the performance in a product half the size.

Precision engineering

Performance is a function of precision engineering.

The innovative design of the DPI 611 pressure system can only achieve efficient generation and precise control through the use of carefully selected materials with high tolerance machining and perfect finishes.

The choice of case material and precision moulding ensures that the DPI 611 is both rugged and weatherproof.

State-of-the-art analogue and digital microelectronics contribute both accuracy and processing power to provide a class leading pressure and electrical capability with a unique simple-to-use interface.

Advanced features

Step and ramp mA output: Simply configured for simulating transmitter outputs into control loops, testing valve positioners, and checking safety systems. The function has programmable endpoints, manual or automatic sequencing, and the following options for quick set-up:

  • % step: The step size is defined as a percentage. For example, 25% provides five test points of 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 mA.
  • Defined step: The step size is defined as a value in mA.
  • Span check: Toggles between two endpoints, for example, 4 and 20 mA for checking zero and FS.
  • Ramp: A linear ramp between two endpoints with programmable travel and dwell times is perfect for dynamically testing switches.

Nudge: Simply used to make a small incremental change to a mA output using up/down keys. This is great for determining trip values.

Switch test: Automates the capture of pressure switch actuation and de-actuation values and calculates the hysteresis.

Pressure leak test: This automated procedure for detecting leaks and determining leak rates has programmable settle and run times. The start and end pressures are reported along with the pressure change and leak rate.

Max/min: Captures maximum and minimum values and calculates the mean.

Relief valve: Captures the venting pressure of a relief valve.

Scaling: Scales the measured value into a process value. For example, mA expressed as a %. Flow correction is available for scaling differential flow transmitter outputs.

Pressure Resolution: Adjustable from four to seven digits; this matches the displayed value to that of the test device for easy comparison.

Help: The DPI 611 is provided with a multi-lingual quick user guide to get you up and running without delay. For convenience, the full manual is stored digitally within the instrument and can be transferred to a PC for viewing or printing. In the help application, you can also view wiring connection diagrams.

Applications

FAQs

Check the Setup menu to see what batteries are being detected.

If “Dry Cell Level” is shown then the DPI 610 is not detecting that the Ni-Cad Battery pack is fitted, otherwise it would say “Ni-Cad Battery Level”
On the underside of the battery pack there is an additional terminal which the instrument uses to detect if a Ni-Cad battery pack is fitted. This terminal makes contact with the spring terminal in the case base, the terminal is highlighted in the image below.
It seems that the terminal on the battery pack may not be making contact with the spring terminal in the case base. The spring terminal in the case base may need bending slightly towards the battery pack so that it makes better contact with the battery pack.

When the battery pack is making a good contact with the base terminal the instrument will show Ni-Cad Battery Level and not Dry Cell Level in the Setup menu.
The instrument will only charge the battery when the Ni-Cad battery is detected.

The weight of the sensor is approximately 450 to 900 g depending on the configuration.

The specifications on page 5 of the datasheet apply to both the calibrators internal sensor and external/remote sensor (Option B1).
For a range of -1 to +1 bar we calculate the positive direction as ±0.025% FS = ±0.00025 bar.
But for the negative direction we use the Compound Range instead of FS to calculate the specification.

-1 to +1 bar = a Compound Range of 2 bar.
Therefore for the negative direction the specification would be: – 2 bar x 0.025% = ±0.0005 bar

For a range of -1 to +3.5 bar we calculate the positive direction as ±0.025% FS = ± 0.000875 bar.
But for the negative direction the compound range will be -1 to +3.5 = 4.5 bar.
Therefore for the negative direction the specification would be:- 4.5 bar x 0.025% = ±0.00113 bar.

Where we quote the accuracy on the datasheet as 0.025% FS and the instrument has a negative calibration then the specification for the negative direction is ±0.025% of Compound Range.

The specification for the Negative direction is ±0.025% of the Compound Range (-Ve FS plus +Ve FS)
For example if the instrument range was -1 to 20 bar then the Compound Range will be 21 bar.

For DPI 610 external sensors use the part number IO610B-1.
You will need to specify the pressure range and pressure connection on your order.

Calibration will not be required.
All calibration data is stored on the mainboard, just exchanging the display board will not affect the calibration.

NOTE:- We only supply the mainboard and display as an assembly, if this is replaced then calibration is required.

The recommended recalibration period is 12 months.
However the instrument has a stability of 0.015% of reading per annum therefore the actual calibration interval will depend on the total measurement uncertainty acceptable for your application.

The sensor is calibrated externally to the instrument on a production calibration rig.
The sensor is calibrated on oil but the front end of the sensor is then washed out to remove the oil.
The sensor is then fitted to the DPI610E Hydraulic Calibrator, pressure testing and leak tests are then carried out using demineralised water.

This may be caused by the button on the Battery Status indicator being permanently in the “on” state.
Check for any signs of damage to the button.
The Battery Status Indicator is not available as a spare therefore the case top will need to be replaced.
Case Top Assembly, part number IS610E-FRONT-ASSY

Note – Having the Battery Status indicator permanently on will not affect the operation of the instrument it will just slightly shorten the time between charges.

Pressure ranges 1 to 20 bar are calibrated from -1 bar to the positive full-scale pressure.
The 350 mbar range is calibrated ±350 mbar.
Ranges of 35 bar and above do not have a negative calibration.

The Leak Rate for Pneumatic versions is 50 mbar/min.
For the Positive direction use a wait time of 60 seconds for 20 and 35 bar units, for units less than 20 bar use a wait time of 30 seconds.
The Leak Rate is then measured over the next 30 seconds.
For the Negative direction use a wait time of 30 seconds.
The Leak Rate is then measured over the next 30 seconds.
The Leak Rate for Hydraulic versions is 1.5 bar/min
Use a wait time of 30 seconds.
The Leak Rate is then measured over the next 30 seconds.
Compared to the DPI 610 Leak Test we are using a much shorter wait time so the Leak Rate specification is higher.
On the DPI 610 we used a wait time of 4 minutes and a measure time of 1 minute so we were giving the pressure much longer to stabilise.
We would expect if you use a wait time of 4 minutes you will get a Leak Rate much less than 50 mbar/min.

There is no problem using the power adapter with a DPI 611 that has AA alkaline batteries fitted, protection is in place to prevent the batteries from being charged.

Typically a change in the reading of approximately 0.00040 bar can be seen.

The battery charging time is 6 hours.

The main thing that will affect the battery life is the intensity of the backlight.
Under normal operation with the settings shown below the running time should be around 12 hours.

The part number for the Standard Accuracy internal sensor is IA2975.
You will be asked to specify the pressure range and pressure connection (G1/8 or 1/8NPT) on your request.

You can use the Scaling Function on the DPI 800/802 to create a “metres of Sea Water” scale.
To Setup the Scaling Function:
With the pressure reading displayed select the Settings menu.
Next select P1 Pressure and press the Menu/OK key.
From the menu tick/check the box next to “x=y” using the Menu/OK key.
Then press the right hand square key to edit the parameters for P1 Scaling.
NB For reference you can refer to section 1.7 of the User Manual K0335.

To over-ride an unknown pin use the pin 0800 followed immediately by pressing the HOLD key. NOTE:- This applies to all models within the DPI 800 series.

The display updates at two times per second (response time = 0.5 sec).

“IDOS Disconnected” is displayed when trying to calibrate IDOS sensor on DPI800/802

This is likely to be caused by a bug in the instruments firmware. Check the status menu to see what version of firmware (DK246) is installed. If the firmware is older than
V06.04.03 then it will require upgrading to the latest version. NOTE:- This applies to all variants of the DPI 800 series apart from the DPI 880
